Dear Listers: Looks like we are back to square one again and it is up to the paying MSN subscribers to exert their pressure on their ISP to resolve the issue in order they may receive the mail they have subscribed to and to receive mail from outside the MSN domain. The number for MSN tech support is 1-800-386-5550 Here's the most recent update I have read. Please understand this message is probably a lot more polite than the frustration level of the situation probably warrants. I am not sure I could have composed one this polite. :) The author is the person that marked it "[censored]", not I. "The current situation with MSN is that we are getting nowhere. If they did release the block on our servers they quickly reimposed it. MSN is still giving out the same variations of excuses to users with the main one being that RootsWeb should contact them. We have done this be telephone and by email, so beyond rolling up at the front door and [censored], there is not much else we can do." I have not pasted the entire message, just the most pertient information. Unless there is some obvious good news, I will not be forwarding any further updates on this subject. And at that, it is not likely as if the situation is truly resolved, there will be no need. Kind Regards, Lauren List Admin, various lists
